    besides the fact the eminem is very sexy, he is so talented and every who hates on him, is just jealous cause they cant be him. he is the best ever!

    Eminem, against most people, is the smartest man i've heard of in a long time. People don't see this because they never even take the time to listen to what this man is saying. I used to hate him,me i actually listened to his raps, i realized, this man has the sense to go somewhere.

Eminem has a sense of humor, just because he says things that might be offensive to some preppy-ass somewhere, doesn't mean he is some dumb-ass high-shool drop out from Detroit. Eminem is the best artist today, and whoever thinks differently, HOLLA! Expand

    This album is the best of his so far and it makes rappers like P. Diddy, Ice-cube and Dr. Dre look like Brittney spears wanna be's! The lyrics consumed in his songs assure him to be one of the best rapper/ singer/ song writter. Ronnie RIP....

    I really enjoy this album, i listen to it all the time, every night before i go to bed and i think that Eminem isn't getting the respect he should. Listen to the lyrics and listen to them good, i would some day love to meet Marshall and tell him to his face how i feel about his music. He tells it how it is and i guess some times parents don't really like that but i say go for it I really enjoy this album, i listen to it all the time, every night before i go to bed and i think that Eminem isn't getting the respect he should.

    Marshall Mathers is the shit. He has the balls to tell you the truth right to your face, and because people dont want to hear the truth they dog on him, but I think he rocks. He is also hot as hell and has a stomach you could eat off of, which always helps!!

    The Marshall Mathers LP is a classic, up there with Dre's dope-beat 'Chronic'. Em delves into his soul and comes out with raw emotion and pure feelings. The production is amazing and the lyrics flow like xxx poetry. M-M explores different zones musically and emotionally.....hot.

    The collaborative efforts of tracks like "Bitch Please II" and "Under the Influence" make Eminem seem like an ornamental prop in Dr. Dre's ever-growing hip-hop dynasty.
  2. The problem is, as the album drags on, young Master Mathers wastes his considerable wit and opts to grouse in the guise of a rampaging reactionary. Song after song finds Eminem viciously baiting real and imagined enemies, as if that's all he knows how to do.
  3. It just isn't as much fun this time around, no matter how fresh Dre's beats are or how many worthy targets get shot down along with the innocent.
